Rob Bell

What is the deal with Rob Bell? Seriously, I mean all that I have heard about this guy is that he is misguided in his teachings.  I don't get it, he asks how a loving God can send someone to hell.  The answer is simple... a loving God can send someone to hell because he is not just a loving God, but also just and righteous.  Which means that Sin deserves to be punished.  The entire thing reminds me of a book I had to read for a theology class called "Your God is Too Small".  Well Rob Bell-your god is too small.  God is Love but he is so much more.  He is just, and mercy, and wrath, and righteous.  He is all of these things infinitely, he is all of these things and more in perfection.  (this isn't a perfect analogy) It's like we see God through a prism.  We see all the different colors, or attributes of God, broken down and individually, but they are distorted because we see them through the prism of our existence and not what they truly are. They are all perfect in one triune-God.

  2. Please read his book before you pass judgement. There is a lot more to what he has to say then that. If you read it you might disagree with him but I think you would have a different opinion of him. It's an easy read too =D.
